PRO: I bought this TV at my local Costco for $799 and it's a SMOKING deal. This TV has everything you could want in a TV. 4 HDMI hook up's, it's got a tiny thin profile (less than 2"), 1080p, 120h, and is LED lit.

I liked the LED-LCD tv's better than the LCD's because they are brighter and the colors show more detail especially when there are dark colors, you are able to view the contrast between blacks and grays.

I shopped around a while before finding this item, looking at Samsung's, Sony's, and even some LG's. After looking online, at Fry's electronics, and Costco I decided this was the best deal for my $. I was looking towards a TV with internet capability but did not want to compromise on TV size or quality to do that. Maybe I'll get a converter for this one sometime, but at the moment...I do love my TV!

One downside for all Vizio previous owners...the preset picture settings are not as many as on other Vizio models. I have another 47" LCD in my... Read more

Yes this TV does dim with adaptive lumina enabled. Anytime there is inactivity or a dim scene it will dim. To fix this you go to DISPLAY mode in the menu and select CUSTOM. It is here that you turn off Adaptive Lumina. I confirmed this fixed the problem in a scene in Iton Man II (where stark kisses pepper).

That said, the picture is spectacular. It cannot be beaten for the price. So while Adaptive Lumina is an issue... If you stay in the CUSTOM display mode Adaptive Lumina will turn off. So I do not understand when I see reviews that say this is still an issue even with Adaptive Lumina off. Perhaps they are not staying in the CUSTOM display mode?

Also if you have a Harmony universal remote, you need to program some of the keys in RAW mode to get them to act right. Mainly any of the input selects.

The tuner on the TV is fine with an over the air antenna (OTA). It even pulls in channel 2-1 in chicago with no problems. I did see on review question the... Read more

This t.v. has a feature called "Adaptive Luma" which claims to automatically decrease the brightness of the screen in response to changes in lighting in your room. However, my t.v. automatically darkens the screen whenever there is a dark scene onscreen, regardless of the darkness in my room. For example, when a scene is taking place at night, the screen automatically becomes so dark that you cannot see anything on screen at all; it is nearly pure black. This problem occurs even when Adaptive Luma is OFF. Having bright lights in my room failed to fix the problem, as well. Extremely disappointing; I have to return the t.v.
